SDLC Phases

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) consists of phases that guide creating software efficiently. It starts with Planning, where goals and requirements are identified. Next is Analysis, to understand what the software needs to do. Then, Design, where the plan for the software is created. Development follows, where programmers build the software. Testing checks for bugs and ensures quality. Deployment releases the software for use. Finally, Maintenance involves updating and fixing issues after release. Each phase helps ensure the software is well-designed, functional, and meets user needs throughout its lifespan.
